5 proposes tour royfie EiaGucpss Service: Rush Hours 2-year subway study affects only the INDBMT division a Queens Blvd.T Metropolitan Ave. To 6 Ave. LLJ 14 St To By RICHARD EDMONDS Traraportattoa Editor Capping a two-year, million-dollar study of subway rider patterns, the Transit Authority yesterday proposed four sweeping route changes but vetoed a demand for a special Express" connecting 59th St and the World Trade Center. The proposals, which would utilize existing tracks and cars, would affect, the subway's INDBMT division. The proposed changes, announced at a meeting of the federally financed Rapid Transit Sufficiency Study committee, could take place as early as next year and are designed to place service where it is most in demand.

Because the system already operates at peak capacity, service on certain lines To Nassau St. 5 Rockaway 8 LL HASSVSCALZO DAILY NEWS train would bring Canarsie riders in Brooklyn directly into midtown. Midday Service Through 59 St. A Rush Hour Service would be reduced in order to beef up other lines. Final approval of the proposals must come from the board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, following public hearings.

TA President John Simpson told the study committee six weeks ago that he would rather scrap the proposals than battle stiff community resistance at local planning boards if it develops from riders whose travel habits would be changed. The proposed changes include: A major swap of service on the and RR lines. The RR line, which now begins its run in Astoria, Queens, would become the line, leaving from Continental Ave. in Forest Hills. It would make more round-the-clock stops than the old line.

The line, which now leaves from Continental would leave from Astoria and make fewer stops than the old RR line. The swap would include termination of F-train service in Manhattan at 57th St between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. Creation of a rush-hour train to transport riders from Coney Island-Bay Parkway in Brooklyn's West End section directly to the financial district A midday beefup of Sixth Ave. service in Manhattan at the expense of AA local service.

The AA would be replaced during that off-peak period by B-train service, so that riders along Central Park West will continue riding along Sixth Ave. rather than Eighth Ave. The A train would continue along Eighth Ave. Creation of a train to allow Canarsie riders in Brooklyn to "pull through" into midtown Manhattan rather than terminate or transfer downtown from the and LL lines. The proposed train from Central Park South to the World Trade Center via INDBMT tracks was found to be unworkable because of track and schedule conflicts with the JFK Express.

Abrams' investigation is zeroing in on five Manhattan firms, 12 in the Bronx, 10 in Queens, six in Brooklyn and two in the Westchester-Rockland area. Typical complaints, a spokesman said, include outdated referral lists describing apartments already rented, apartments that have not been vacant for years or apartments in nonexistent buildings. Abrams seized the books and records because he has found it necessary to prove that the firms are in the apartment referral business. Many claim to be newspapers or other publications and insist that they are protected by the First Amendment The penalty for doing business without a license is up to a year in jail or a fine of up to four times the amount of illegal profits, or both. Serious cases may be treated as felonies, punishable by up to four years in prison, the spokesman said.

No telephone listing could be found State investigators, in a continuing battle to regulate the housing referral industry, yesterday seized the books and records of an apartment referral firm in Manhattan that they said oper-. ates without a license.

Apartment-hunters have filed a total of more than 300 complaints against the 35 firms in the last seven months.

Before the licensing law took effect last September, a firm known as Apartment Specialists occupied the second-floor office where Metro now does business. The ownership of both firms is being investigated, a spokesman said.

Stanchi and Chiappa were sent to the bar at 515 Lenox Ave.

at 10 p.m. on June 17, 1973, to deal with a patron, Boyce Russell, 56, who was drunk and had a gun. In a wild shootout, Russell killedtanchi and the bartender, William Dotson, 52. Russell, too, was killed in the incident and Chiappa and six patrons were wounded. Chiappa and Stanchi's widow, Florence, who was left with two children when her 29-year-old husband was killed, charged the bar with negligence and violating a city law by serving an intoxicated person.

Their attorney, Lonn Berney, charged that Russell was clearly drunk, "his eyes glassy, his gait unsteady, his speech slurred, his mannerisms and actions boisterous and violent" Opening testimony had been given in court before Justice Arnold Fraiman when two insurance companies, Empire Mutual and General Accident, offered to settle the suit CHIAPPA, WHO WAS 27 WHEN the shooting occurred, is now retired on three-quarters disability pay and lives in Patterson, N.Y. He runs a Chevrolet dealership with a brother. Stanchi's widow, who has remarried and lives in Hicksville, L.I., was in Canada when the settlement was announced.
